Power

Power distribution rental in Toronto

Distro, cable, ramps and generators: plus the load calculation that stops the whole thing tripping during the speeches.

We do the arithmetic before the event rather than the diagnosis during it.

Why this page exists

Almost every event power failure is the same failure. Somebody added up the equipment and not the catering. A single 15A circuit carries about 1,800 watts. Two coffee urns is 3,000. The lighting rig was blameless.

Send us the equipment list (yours, the caterer's and the venue's) and we will return a load plan with circuit assignments. That service is free whether or not you rent the distro from us, because a tripped breaker at your event reflects on us either way.

Safety, plainly

  • Every output is RCD protected. Wet grass and event power are a bad pairing without it.
  • Every cable crossing a walked path goes under a ramp, not under a mat and not under tape.
  • Nothing is daisy-chained through domestic power bars.
  • We do not touch a building's panel or hardwire anything. That is licensed electrical work and it is not what we do.

We are not electricians and we do not do electrical work. We distribute from existing outlets or from a generator, using rated equipment. Anything requiring a panel, a hardwired connection or a permit gets referred to a licensed ESA contractor.

Check your date

The first question is always whether the date is open. Start there: the rest takes two minutes.

1. What is the event?
Estimate Shown on each option above Flat quote confirmed before any work starts. Prices in CAD, before HST.
2. Where will it happen?
Name the venue if it is booked. If you are still choosing, leave this blank. The date is enough to start.
3. When is it?
If the date is not fixed, choose the first day of the month you are aiming for and tell us in the notes. Popular Saturdays often book nine to twelve months ahead. Short-notice dates are still worth asking about.
4. How do we reach you?
5. Review and send

Two separate permissions, because in Canadian law they are two separate things. Ticking one never ticks the other, both are optional, and neither changes how we handle your booking.

No payment now and no obligation. We reply within one working day with availability and the right next step.

Common questions

How much power does my event need?

Send us the equipment list including catering and we will return a load plan with circuit assignments. That is free. As a rough figure, a 120-guest event with sound and lighting is about 3 kW before catering.

Do you do electrical work?

No. We distribute power from existing outlets or a generator using rated, RCD-protected equipment. Anything involving a panel or a hardwired connection is licensed electrical work and gets referred out.

How much is a distro rental?

From $150 for a 30A unit with four protected outputs, $280 for a 50A unit with eight. Cable and ramps are priced per run.

Are your generators quiet enough for a wedding?

The 5 kW inverter units are, sited at distance. A construction-grade generator is not, and we do not send them to weddings.
